I get that same email from different spammers regarding the .com that I either own the .net or .org telling me it is going to become available and they can obtain it for me. Most recently I registered AsianLiveWebcams this way.
I lost Handballs .org with Godaddy by forgetting to renew it and it was picked up by someone else.
I lost HandballStore .com by trying to save $25 a long time ago with Network Solutions, I said I will let it expire, and then register it with Godaddy. But it was picked up by someone else.
I wanted HandballNation .com for a social Network and offered the guy $250 he refused (I went with HandballSpace instead), a couple years later I had searched it and it was available. So I picked it up.
